Strike of the CGT and drag of the crisis: a terrible mirror for the union leaders and the main test for Milei
Increasing poverty records constitute the greatest indicator of economic and social deterioration. The Cegetista leaders prefer to avoid the fact that it is a process, because they ignored it in the previous government. The new management will also be measured by the results in that field

The most dramatic consequence of the crisis - the growing level of poverty and indigence - was not at the center of the last campaign, did not appear as an axis in the initial speeches of Javier Milei 's administration and did not provoke concrete responses from the CGT, less during the Peronist/Kirchnerist government. The strike planned for this Wednesday does not place the real focus on that area , but on the political dispute that is writing its first chapter in Congress. It is, to say the least, striking: it is a terrible mirror for union leaders and the main economic and social test for the Government.

Gerardo Martínez: “We did not have the opportunity to be heard; "We need dialogue, not confrontation."
Gerardo Martínez, leader of the CGT and head of the UOCRA 1920
In advance of the 12-hour national strike organized by the CGT , the general secretary of the UOCRA, Gerardo Martínez , assured that the decision to strike is to “support Parliament” in the discussion over the omnibus law and the DNU , At the same time, he assured that they were not summoned at any time by the Government and warned about the need for a “dialogue . ”
“ Circumstances and extreme positions led us to this situation. At no time did we have the institutional opportunity to be heard or at least listen to the proposal that the Government was going to carry out,” Martínez said.
During an interview with Radio Miter , the trade unionist said that he is respectful of the electoral result that brought Javier Milei to the Casa Rosada, although he maintained that the strike is not “whimsical” , since the changes in labor matters promoted by the Executive Branch “ breaks the social contract ”.
“ I applaud the negotiation , the dialogue that can take place in Parliament. Now, that same relationship was not had in the socio-labor structure and other sectors,” he said.
“Unfortunately, institutionally we were never called to any conversation to find out what our opinion is or we know what the Government's opinion is. There was a conversation at the time with Minister Francos , but at the moment of truth, after having reached a certain agreement, we observed that there was no continuity between what we had been talking about and what had been manifesting in the facts. Then, we both realized that we could be in a situation where we were just talking without solving anything,” Martínez added.
Finally, he insisted that " the idea is not to confront, the idea is to dialogue " in order to get out of "this disastrous equation that Argentina is experiencing."

The piquetero movement made the decision to join the strike and mobilization this Wednesday, against the DNU and the Omnibus Law of the Government of Javier Milei, but with the formation of an independent column. The representative of the Polo Obrero, Eduardo Belliboni, made reference to this .
“We are facing a very regressive government , we had to march, as soon as the DNU was announced, now it is in force, it violates the rights achieved without having passed through parliament. The strike is going to be very large, we will discuss how we give continuity to this fighting plan ,” said the union leader in communication with radio Splendid .
Furthermore, he maintained: “ We must defeat the DNU, we cannot continue like this, it says that the wallet of the Ministry of Human Capital 'is open' but food is not reaching the canteens, it has set priorities that it has set for other sectors such as cinema and it is a lie, neither cinema nor food.”
“ In 45 days, a policy was carried out that some cannot do in 45 years , devaluation that destroys salaries and pensions, privatization of public companies, asking for permission to gather in public spaces, they want to take away our right to protest, all unconstitutional ,” he added.
And he revealed: “ We received a document letter asking to pay for the police operation which, being a public service , is paid for with taxes, the police would not have to intervene directly, but Minister Bullrich all she does is frighten the people, justice itself "He had to stop."
